Paul Harmaty is also persuasive: even humans who *can* trust
and deal with trolls, still fear them. Good stuff.

It's likely priests of Pavis will be able to cross over as =
associate priests of Lunar deities, perhaps getting into the
Like I say, Pavis is a poxy backwater from the Empire's POV.
Red Goddess cult without requiring illumination. I strongly
doubt that all the citizens of Pavis would overnight receive
access to zillions of Lunar associate spells, at least not
without sacrificing to Pavis and the Goddess jointly. Perhaps
one spell as dowry, rather than an overwhelming mass of them.
A Lune (to complement the Shade, Undine, Gnome, Salamander and
Sylph already owned by the Pavis Temple) might be appropriate.
Sure, he'll be "ranked among the Lunar pantheon" -- but do you
care to guess just how highly he's ranked? An equal to Alkor,
Raiba and Yuthu? Don't make me laugh! He'll be down there with
the Carrot God, and don't you forget it!

Only on Holy Day rituals, when his Daughters summon him out.
And on his Wedding Day, when one of his priests embodied him.
Et cetera. You see Pavis about as often as you see Orlanth,
if you're in the right place (the temple) and are initiated.
